Horizon view
Horizon from Carpenter Y
71.8593° N, 63.0244° W · cell 15WFT
- Highest horizon point
- Carpenter Y: 18.1° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 201°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 10.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,611 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 5.1° under it at azimuth 79°. At 2026-10-22 14:33:27 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 1.9 km, the global LOLA terrain tier of 16 pixels per degree; relief smaller than that, near or far, is smoothed, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
